What Is a Blankie Bestie?
A Blankie Bestie is a stuffed animal with a full-size blanket hidden inside. On the outside, it looks and feels like any other soft, plush toy the kind kids drag everywhere and refuse to leave the house without. But when you unzip the belly or pull back the velcro flap, out comes a super-soft, ultra-plush blanket sized perfectly for little ones to snuggle under. It's a 2-in-1 plush toy and blanket set in one compact, portable package.
The blanket stores securely inside the stuffed animal when not in use, so there's no separate piece to lose track of. When your child needs it at bedtime, in the car, on a plane, or during a movie time on the couch it's always right there inside their favorite plushie. That's the Blankie Bestie difference.
